Wow, sounds like this is one thread that has been beaten too death, sneezed in, coughed in, crapped in. This has to be one of the worst and nastiest debates I have ever read from any newsgroup. Did anyone actually conviced the other to see the other's point of view or change the way they thought about the product they sided with? I doubt it. Sounds like this one could go on for another 100 responses in this thread.

It started off as a "merits" debate but pretty quickly, from an Informix newsgroup perspective anyway, moved into a debate about the extent to which IBM is likely to be successful in retaining the Informix users who decide to abandon Informix. For sure some strong views have been expressed about IBM as a company, and its database strategy, but is that so bad?
